Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Cam'Ron Johnson stepped things up a notch to give Americas the 'W'. Nobody could stop Johnson as he rushed for 208 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries. His longest rush was for an incredible 80 yards.
Johnson is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Parkland on Friday. Johnson rushed for 265 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.6 yards per carry the last time he and the Matadors duked it out two weeks ago.

Elijah Issa Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, El Dorado got the W thanks in part to Elijah Issa playing the best football he has all season. Issa rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 176 yards and a touchdown on only 16 passes.
Issa and El Dorado will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Bel Air at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th. Issa will face off against Angel Dominguez, the Highlanders' star quarterback. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Macias and Parkland will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Americas at 6:30 p.m. on October 25th.
